Figures & data
Figure 1. Timeline of HPV16/18 positivity in subjects who developed HPV16/18-related CIN2+. Each horizontal line corresponds to one of the 39 cases; the horizontal axis shows time since entering the study. Circles indicate cervical swab sampling visits: open circles are shown when the subject was HPV DNA negative to the type which was later present in the disease; closed circles show DNA positivity to that HPV type. The closed triangle indicates the diagnosis of HPV16/18-related CIN2, CIN3 or AIS. Though the definition of persistent infection allowed for a swab or biopsy sample to be positive for the same HPV type after a pathology panel diagnosis of disease, in all of the cases shown in Figure 1, the persistent infection was detected prior to definitive therapy.
